Ortho-Bionomy

Ortho-Bionomy® is based on the premise that the body inherently knows how to heal and self-correct, given the opportunity. Rooted in Osteopathy, this gentle method uses positions of comfort, gentle movements, isometric/isotonic muscle contractions, joint compression, and subtle techniques to initiate the release of tension & pain. It relieves constrictions in joints, tissues and lymphatic structures. OB facilitates a natural process to correct structural misalignments from the inside out. This treatment is given with the client fully clothed. Please wear loose comfortable clothing.

Typically, Ortho-Bionomy sessions last approximately an hour. Comfortable, loose fitting clothing is suggested to allow full range of motion. The practitioner works with you to identify areas of discomfort, tension and pain as well as areas of comfort and ease of movement. Gentle movements, comfortable positioning, brief compressions and subtle contacts are used. No forceful movements or pressures are used.

Every Ortho-Bionomy session is specifically designed around your individual needs. Your practitioner will rely on your verbal feedback to find the techniques which best facilitate your body’s return to natural alignment. Typically, the relief of stress and tension lasts for days or longer after a session.

Your practitioner may suggest self-care release techniques you can do at home. These self-care techniques further aid in relieving pain, restoring function, and rebalancing the body.

Whether looking for relief from specific discomfort or a safe and effective way to ease stress and promote relaxation, Ortho-Bionomy can be very beneficial. It can also work in conjunction with other healing systems. It is not a substitute for appropriate medical care, nutrition or exercise.
